A toned body, six-pack abs or strong muscles is almost one of the standards of male Kpop idols. To have an at least fit body, Kpop male idols must also follow strict ∂ιєts just like female idols.

BTS is no exception and two of the BTS members who regularly follow ∂ιєts before each project are Jimin and Jungkook. They even had very strict ∂ιєts and it was still maintained until recent years. One time when Jimin and Jungkook were ∂ιєting together, the result of this process had an üńệẍṗệċẗệď turn.

Upon witnessing this, fans laughed at the two idols' reactions while hoping that they can eat well and healthily:

Along with daily choreography and practice, Kpop idols follow a strict ∂ιєt, especially before they perform or record a project. Even the ∂ιєts are so strict that many fans wonder how they can dance so enthusiastically while eating so little. There are also cases where idols ∂ιєt too much, leading to exhaustion or fainting during performances.

Pressure about appearance is truly a huge burden for Kpop idols and it includes both male and female idols. The BTS members themselves had a time when they had ∂ιєts that were very harmful to their health. Typically, Jimin once followed a ∂ιєt of only one meal a day and at the same time applied high intensity dance training for 10 days to lose weight. This mєthod allowed him to really lose weight quickly, but his health also weakened so he did not dare to do it a second time.

While Jungkook once had an anecdote about accepting fasting and only drinking water for 5 days to have a beautiful body when filming the MV Butter. But this also really affects his physical health as BTS always works and practices with high intensity. Since then, Jungkook has changed his ∂ιєt to a healthier one.

However, ∂ιєting is a harsh ∂ιєt after all so when Jimin and Jungkook do this, it also means they won't be able to eat what they want. In a scene from the recent BTS movie " PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE ", Jungkook and Jimin were seen ∂ιєting together for about 5 days. But in order to stay healthy for the performance, the two decided to eat vegetables and sauces.

But it seems that that meal was still not enough for Jungkook. Despite using tricks such as eating hot peppers and drinking water to feel full, he was still not satisfied. As a result, he convinced Jimin to eat a small piece of meat with him, specifically meat kimbap. They were clearly on a ∂ιєt, but it seemed like their craving for meat and hunger suddenly made them want to break their plan. It shows that ∂ιєting is really difficult.

But what was even more surprising was that even when they ate kimbap pieces with a bit of meat inside, it did not make them feel full. So, in the end, the two convinced themselves that they could eat a little more of the saucy meat and added more to their plates. At the end of the meal backstage, the two were satisfied and their joy at being able to eat what they wanted made fans feel moved.

After reviewing this video, fans expressed their wish that the members could eat the foods they like and stay healthy because for fans, the happiness and health of the members are the most important:

- I hate it when they starve themselves.

- They are so cool. But I want they enjoy what they want

- i can’t believe they just ate lettuce

- Just jikook being so adorable while eating gives me so much happiness

- He came up with a plan and reasoning so quickly and Jimin wasn't hard to convince
